Farmstead and sawmill, still in use, built in 1832 with additions and alterations by Walker and Beattie in the late 19th century, situated to the east of Ballogie House (NO59NE0065). The steading was formerly in use as stables. It is shown on the 1st edition OS map as a quadrangular steading with kennels to the south and two rectangular-plan buildings to the south-west and an L-plan sawmill to the south-east. The 2nd edition OS maps show additions and alterations to the buildings to the south, with the kennels no longer depicted as such. Current OS maps show further additions and alterations to the steading and associated buildings. The C-listed courtyard-plan steading is two-storey, with a basement to the south elevation, and is constructed from pink coursed granite rubble with long and short dressings. Openings are predominantly boarded timber, and there are crowstepped gables. Predominantly four-pane timber sash and case windows and six-pane pivoting timber windows are used, and the roofing is of asbestos, with a coped wallhead stack to the west with an octagonal can, and cast-iron rainwater goods. The principal west elevation has a gabled bay to the centre with a segmental-arched pend to the courtyard at the ground floor, a round-arched window to the centre of the first floor, a clock set in the centre of the pediment and a cast-iron birdcage bellcote with a weathervane to the apex. The flanking bays have blind windows below a louvred opening. The asymmetrical five-bay south elevation has regular fenestration to the ground floor, a window between the ground and first floors to one outer bay and a variety of infilled openings. There are irregular door and window openings to the basement. The east elevation is obscured by harled additions, and the asymmetrical north elevation has a sliding door to, other infilled openings and two boarded timber piend-roofed dormers to the attic. The courtyard has a cobbled floor. The segmental-arched pend is flanked by sliding boarded timber doors with glazed panels. Three boarded timber piend-roofed dormers break the eaves to the north block and there are irregularly placed boarded timber openings, infilled openings and skylights to the remainder.
